MadCap Software Forums

Hi there
Our developers are using Qt Creator (2.1.0), based on Qt 4.7.1, to develop our GUI interface. Since Flare doesn't generate Qt help, I not sure how to do the context senstive help.
We only need F1 help at the form level, we don't need "What's this?" help for each control.
I'm not sure how the CSH IDs are assigned in Qt and wondered if anyone in the forum could point me in the right direction. If you know how to go about this, or what I need to ask the developers to do, I'd be most grateful.
Many thanks

we are using qt 471 with flare - no problem/
you just need to construct html link with the relevant id that is tied to the csh page. (as per the flare documentation).
We basically tag each ui /dialog with a #define value which we map into the help pages in flare.

im not sure that we actually use the qtHelp.

Hi Peter
Thanks for that. That's what we thought, but I wasn't sure if there was a better way.
Thanks for your help with this.

one thing perhaps worth mentioning is that displaying the webHelp in a QT WebView window although it works - seems to have a few issues. Clicking links quickly on the TOC sometimes causes the pages to display incorrectly.
We havent investigated in a huge details as to where the problem is ; but maybe worth watching out for.
cheers
